I've been washing my eyes with tap water every few hours lately, but they started burning every time I did it. I just discovered that the Dettol Liquid Handwash I use might not rinse off completely and could be the reason for the burning and irritation in my eyes. I skipped washing my eyes today and haven't experienced any symptoms. Could this soap residue be causing problems for my eyes in the long run?

Question

I've attached the topography reports my doctor gave me, and they've suggested I should go for TPRK CXL in my left eye. My right eye has a vision of 66 with a 0.5 sph, so the doctor recommended waiting for three months before taking any action. Im a bit concerned and have a few questions. Is it common to have thin corneas from a young age? How long do I need to rest after this procedure? And what exactly is TPRK, especially considering my thin corneas? Could you help me understand what the reports are showing?

My father just had surgery for cataract on his left eye today and the doctor prescribed gatiquin tromide plus eye drops. Weve also been told to continue using Brivex, which he was using before the surgery. Is it safe to keep using Brivex on the day of the surgery? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your advice.

What are these eye veins I'm noticing? Should I be worried about them? I've seen that they're more prominent when I ride my bike in the wind. Are they dangerous?
